Matthew McConaughey Attends WWE SmackDown, Receives Texas-WWE Legacy Championship – Friday’s WWE SmackDown in Austin, Texas, had an extra dose of star power as Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey was spotted sitting in the front row. McConaughey, a proud Texas native, enthusiastically engaged with the crowd, even throwing up the iconic “Hook ‘Em” hand gesture to represent his alma mater, the University of Texas.

McConaughey wasn’t the only celebrity in attendance. Later in the evening, comedians Shane Gillis, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, and Tony Hinchcliffe were also shown sitting ringside, adding more buzz to the star-studded event.

In a special moment, WWE revealed that The Undertaker had presented McConaughey with a Texas-WWE Legacy Championship. The belt was created as a tribute to the Lone Star State’s deep connection with professional wrestling. McConaughey, visibly thrilled, acknowledged the championship’s heft and significance.

Best known for his standout performances in movies like Dazed and Confused, Magic Mike, and Dallas Buyers Club, as well as acclaimed TV series such as True Detective, McConaughey has long been a wrestling fan.
